Yes. I have always thought both to be plus rebounders.

Buddy isn't an NBA player.

Sadly, I agree. He loses the ball on his own and does not do a next level job of finishing at the rim. I think he could be--but we shouldn't be worried about him leaving early like others have suggested. If he did it would be a huge WTF decision.

Not now. He changed his body and his shot, athleticism and size are there. He needs to improve on his handles though if he wants to make it. I'm sure he will put in the time though!
Geez a lot of negative negativity against Buddy's next level potential check this website out http://www.nbadraft.net/2015mock_draft
I think some of you guys need to take a deep breath and look at the big picture ragging on a guy who gets praise from many other opposing coaches and scouting organisation is weak. I will constructively criticize him but if you watch Buddy's game and look at some of those guys in the NBA he definitely has a good chance to play at that level and play well.

I didn't say he wouldn't/couldn't. Just don't think it right now...
If (When) he puts in the work then I think he has a good chance.

Wasn't referring to you Big Time I agree he need to work on his handles, but the other posters are really digging in on this guy. I read a post awhile back that says he smiles too much unbelievable. I am friends with a lot of Tar heels fans having worked at a tournament where there girls team played they support they give to their team is really great not saying they don't criticize, but I am sure if you had an All American player who has been recognized as one of the top players in the country by other coaches and sports analyst the level of attacks on Buddy seem a little absurd in my opinion.

Now. Yes. But he has the size and athleticism AND the work ethic to improve that. You are clowning if you think otherwise...
Steph Curry dramatically improved his dribbling from since the time he was at Davidson. Buddy has the tenacity and drive to do the same. Besides overseas aint bad had a friend who played in Holland making 500,000 a year that is some good change there.

Nobody said it's bad...
I hope Buddy comes back and improves his stock, however, in the end he needs to do what's best for him. Just hope he doesn't listen to any agents/pocket-digger friends/relatives.

Coming back to improve his stock after most players 3rd year it's rear that stocks improve much especially the NBA that seems to have a penchant for drafting underclassman. Case in point my good friend and relative was asked to come out his junior season by the Indiana Pacers they had slotted the number 18th spot for him. He balked and stayed cause his mom, a school teacher, wanted him to get his degree. Well it spiraled from there his senior season they got a new coach former NBA coach Larry Farmer teamed struggled even though he still had good stats 18 points 10 rebounds a game. He never got along with the new coach and system. Went against his coaches advice and not signed with his agent missed getting drafted.
If Buddy get's a call from a team that says they want him first round I see no reason why he should stay and it would be selfish of anyone to tell him not to. And to insinuate that any one offering there opinion on the matter has and agenda for personal reasons speaks to a certain logic that I don't really care to address. My opinions are based on salient points based on research and experienced glean through my years in basketball as a former player and fan. By the way I have relatives who have played in the NBA Buddy won't be one of them.
